What if confidence isn’t something children are simply born with but a skill they can learn, practise and strengthen?
In Episode 15 of The Farah Shammas Podcast, I sit down with Shamara Gabriel, founder of Confidence Academy, a children’s confidence and life-skills programme helping young people develop self-belief, communication skills and emotional resilience.
Shamara’s journey began in South Africa, where she founded Little Charmers, a children’s modelling academy that grew into a national agency representing young talent in television, film, modelling and presenting. Through years of working closely with children, she discovered how deeply confidence can shape every part of a young person’s life.
In this inspiring conversation, we explore the challenges children and teenagers face today, the impact of social media on self-esteem, the difference between shyness and a lack of confidence, and the important role failure can play in personal growth. Shamara also shares practical advice that parents can use at home to help their children become stronger, more resilient and confident.
An insightful and encouraging episode for every parent, educator and anyone passionate about helping young people thrive.

What does Greece have to teach the world about living well?
In Episode 14 of The Farah Shammas Podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Angela Gerekou, an inspiring, dynamic and deeply positive figure whose life and work have been closely connected with Greece, culture, tourism and the power of storytelling.
Angela Gerekou, former President of the Greek National Tourism Organisation (2019–2025) and Vice President of the WBAF Global Women Leaders Committee, shares with us stories from the different chapters of her remarkable journey.
We go back to her first steps in her career, the experiences that shaped her, and the story of how she first met the legendary Greek singer and actor Tolis Voskopoulos, a deeply personal chapter of her life.
We also talk about her beautiful new book, “Flavors and Memories from Corfu,” and the memories, traditions, flavours and emotions that make Corfu and Greece as a whole, so unique.
But this conversation goes much deeper than tourism.
Angela shares her vision for Greece and the future of the country, and why she believes Greece is not simply a destination to visit, but a land of healing.
We explore the timeless Greek philosophy of ευ ζην “living well” and the importance of finding balance between body, soul and mind.
